15 March 1865 There is a short report of a previous offence in the Staffordshire Advertiser Saturday 18 March 1865 p.5 col.3: ROBBERY BY BOYS AT WOLVERHAMPTON. JOHN BEVAN, 10, WILLIAM DINGLEY, 8, and GEORGE PARRY, 14, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling house of Thomas Vale, at Wolverhampton, on the 14th of January, and stealing therefrom twenty-four rabbit skins Mr. Goldsmid conducted the prosecution. The prosecutor is a fishmonger and rabbit dealer, living in the Horsefair, Wolverhampton, and on the afternoon of the day in question the prisoners entered his premises during the absence of the inmates at market, and carried away a number of rabbit skins. On the same day they offered the skins for sale at the shop of a marine store dealer, who. having his suspicions excited, gave information to the police. The prisoners were apprehended and charged with the offence, upon which Bevan said to Party, "You know you fetched the skins out of the house and gave them to us," to which Parry replied, " No, I didn't: we all three took them together." The jury found the prisoners guilty, and they were sentenced to one month's imprisonment each.
